CHAP. V. Of the degrees of Repentance.

:3614p. 743

Repentance hath two degrees. It is either ordinary, or extraordinary.

REpentance hath two degrees. It is either ordinarie, or extraordinarie.

:3615p. 743

Ordinary repentance is that which every christian is to perform every day: for as men fall daily either more or less; so the graces of God are proportionally weakened day by day. Wherefore the continual reparation thereof must be made by a daily renewing of repentance. A christian man is the temple and house of Gods spirit: he must therefore once a day sweep it, that it may be fit to entertain so worthy a guest.

Ordinarie repentance is that which euery christian is to performe euery day: for as men fall daily either more or lesse; so the graces of God are proportionally weakened day by day. Wherefore the continuall reparation therof must be made by a daily renuing of repentance. A christian mā is the tēple and house of Gods spirit: he must therefore once a day sweep it, that it may be fit to entertaine so worthy a guest.

:3616p. 743

Extraordinary repentance is the same in nature with the former: it differs only from it in degree and measure of grace.
